The notion of a rigid separation between church and state has no basis in either the text of the Constitution or the writings of our Founding Fathers. On the contrary, our Founders’ political views were strongly informed by their religious beliefs.

We need to understand the more government spends, the more freedom is lost...Instead of simply debating spending levels, we ought to be debating whether the departments, agencies, and programs funded by the budget should exist at all.

You know, freedom is a very popular idea, and young people love it, and they're open to ideas. And they like principled answers to our problems.

American voters should understand that Congress will always find a way to spend every last dollar sent to Washington. Remember, politicians get votes by promising everything to everyone, always at the expense of some other invisible taxpayers. ...The federal government cannot maintain a budget surplus any more than an alcoholic can leave a fresh bottle of whiskey untouched in the cupboard.

Of course I've already taken a very modest position on the monetary system, I do take the position that we should just end the Fed.

Liberty has meaning only if we still believe in it when terrible things happen and a false government security blanket beckons.

Well, I don't think we should go to the moon. I think we maybe should send some politicians up there.
